Quick background- I have bad back pain. I’m guessing it’s nerve pain since my latest CT of my Spain stated that most of my thoracic have severe stenosis (narrowing) at the outlet of the nerves. I also have moderate narrowing up towards my neck. I also have a screw in my back (I have a spinal fusion) that is almost touching a nerve.
My Dr knows I need more but he says the DEA has him by the balls. He won’t do it. He’s scared. I get what I can find on the streets to supplement (hydrocodone) but those are like skittles unless I take 3-4. Which is very expensive. In my area, they go for $10. I’m not rich and the supply does dry up. My dr says he can go lateral with a different opioid but not up.
so questions
1.Is it possible 90mg of morphine may do better in the way of pain management? NEVER thought I’d be willing to stick anything up my butt but I read that anally, it’ll have a greater affect (or is this just for the “high”?) What about a low dose fentanyl patch? Is there a safe way to order some online and test it to supplement? Am I better off sticking with this Percocet and trying to potentate it?
2.If I do potentate it, does it only affect the” high” or also the pain relieving properties? I haven’t been able to find any info as such online, only people looking for the better high . I’ve only found a medical article that says grapefruit will significantly increase the plasma levels BUT it will NOT increase the pain relieving properties in ketamine as example.
3. I’m also on Xanax (1.5-2mg daily). Tolerance for this is a lot less than opioids (although I do take it daily). I usually take .5 at a time 1-3 times a day.
*Im also on a ARB and hctz for blood pressure
*loratidine/ cetirizine/ fluctisone/ azelistine for allergies
Also, I read someone’s comment that basically stated that the grapefruit just jump starts a chemical reaction and it really doesn’t matter how much you take? That really worries me if it’s true because I’d like to ease myself in, is this possible or was this person correct? I don’t want to kill myself with grapefruit.
please, I urgently need suggestions. I know there’s a lot of smart people here and I can really really use your help guys and gals. Sorry for the random thoughts all over the place. I’m kinda a mess, in 9/10 pain . TIA
